Daly a fan favourite at PGA, with or without cart:
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — John Daly had a tougher time than most navigating the 18th hole at Bethpage Black.He hit his tee shot into the cluster of bunkers right of the fairway, and Daly had to drive a tight path between two bunkers to get to a spot where he hobbled to his ball. His second shot didn't make it to the fairway. His third went to the back of the green, and that led to more issues.
"New York fans are great," said the 53-year-old two-time major champion, who said his knee was the size of a softball after the round."Some of them are going to get on you, but 99.9% are great, just good fans." Daly is the first player to ride in a cart at a major since Casey Martin in the U.S. Open at Olympic Club in 1998 and 2012.
Whenever Daly arrived at a tee or hit a shot Thursday, there was a roar from the crowd. It sounded like a morgue for playing partners and fellow former PGA champions Rich Beem and Y.E. Yang .
